Men Like Us - Menopause - Melissa Howcroft - Episode 1

Welcome to Empowering Menopause & Aesthetics — the podcast where honest conversation meets expert care.I’m your host, and today we’re stepping into a space that has been missing for far too long: a place where women can feel seen, supported, and genuinely understood through every stage of menopause.This show is brought to you by Empower Menopause & Aesthetics — a nurse-led clinic founded by Melissa Howcroft, offering holistic, evidence-based menopause support alongside personalised aesthetic treatments. With nearly two decades of nursing experience across emergency care, oncology, respiratory, and hospital operations, Melissa created EMA after recognising just how many women were struggling in silence, without guidance or validation.Here, we talk openly about the physical, emotional, and hormonal changes that come with perimenopause and menopause. We unpack the myths, explore real-life stories, and share practical tools to help women feel empowered, informed, and confident. We also dive into the world of aesthetics — not from a place of pressure, but from a place of self-care, wellbeing, and choice.Whether you’re navigating symptoms yourself, supporting a partner, or simply wanting to understand your body better, this podcast is your go-to companion on the journey.So settle in — and let’s start empowering women, one conversation at a time.
